This is a male Paper Wasp (Polistes fuscatus) that my daughter was keeping as a pet. Males are not able to sting - though my daughter notes that they still retain the behavior of trying to sting if they feel threatened. 7D, 100 mm macro, 1/200, f/16, ISO 100, light box, 2 remotely fired flashes, hand held. All comments are welcome and appreciated.

I haven't been stung by any of them - so far.
